A huge blow to Europe as the United States (US) has officially severed its alliance with Europe by choosing to side with Russia in a crucial vote at the UN on Ukraine.
The US, which voted against a resolution condemning Moscow's aggression, sounded the first siren of the biggest rift in transatlantic relations since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Kyiv, not expecting to be betrayed, accused Trump of giving Putin an advantage and putting Ukraine in grave danger.
Meanwhile, European leaders are now scrambling to find a way to regain their place in the talks that will determine Ukraine's fate - but are they too late?
At the same time, a document has revealed that Washington is negotiating a "Recovery Investment Fund" for Ukraine but with surprising conditions.
The agreement would prioritize US interests, ahead of any commitments Ukraine has made to the European Union (EU) or other allies.
In fact, the proposal is said to tie US aid to exclusive access to Ukraine's mineral resources, something that has caused great concern in Brussels.
With Europe sidelined and Ukraine increasingly squeezed, a big question arises – Is this the end of European power on the world stage and will Ukraine disappear from the map of history?
